A South African player from the MLS is tipped to return to the PSL soon, the Siya crew has been informed.
Tsiki Ntsabeleng is a former Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs youth player. He turns out for Dallas FC and Siya sources close to the player and club have now indicated there may be interest from SuperSport United in the player.

The source added that the former South Africa Under-20 player is ready to play in the top flight in the PSL.
"You know since moving to America in 2018 he has been doing very well and SuperSport United scouts have been monitoring him as he has progressed," said the Siya source.
"He was young when he left having featured for both Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs. He also played for the national Under-20 team and now he has gained experience which will help him when he joins a Premiership side.
"It will also be a good move for SuperSport United because they believe in youth though he is 25-years-old now. But for football age he is still young and at a good age," the source informed Soccer Laduma.
A second source added that the player has the desire to come back home to South Africa and prove that he can represent Bafana Bafana.
"For now it's good that SuperSport have shown interest because even he had always wanted to come back home at one time and have the chance for the national team coach (Hugo Broos) to have a look at him," said the second source.
"He has the desire to play for the national team so sometimes playing in the MLS, the coach doesn't watch as many games to help monitor him. So if the move goes through it will come at the right time for him as well," the source observed.
Another challenge is how the MLS break doesn't come at the right time for players to be in rhythm for AFCON.
The Tembisa-born's current contract with the club expires on the 31st of December 2023 but the club has a two-year option on his contract.
It remains to be seen if other PSL clubs would go in for Ntsabeleng, or if he may prefer to play abroad instead of South Africa.
Soccer Laduma contacted SuperSport United for comment but no response was received while preparing this story.
